Machine Learning for Electrical Signature Analysis and Remaining Useful Life

In this presentation we will discuss the application of machine learning predictive analytics as part of data collection and continuous monitoring with ESA. Attendees will have a basic understanding of supervised machine learning systems and how they are applied to identify defects and time to failure estimation methods for electric machines, power quality and driven equipment using the motor or generator as the sensor.

Electrical Reliability on the Grid Part V: Flywheel Storage

In the Federal government and commercial designs, there are a variety of designs including cylinders and solid mass systems.  The mechanical components have lower failure rates with the effectiveness and reliability of magnetic and related guide bearings.  The upper speed limit and resulting Watt-hour capability is based on the mechanical limits of the flywheel and shaft.

Electrical Reliability on the Grid Part 3: Wind Site Internal Distribution

In Part 2 of this series we discussed the reliability of the wind turbines themselves. However, the individual wind tower, whether it is on-shore or off-shore, is actually a cell in a large battery in a utility scale wind site which will have tens or hundreds of wind towers for each generation location..

Electrical Reliability On the Grid Part 1: Generation and Renewable Concepts

Over the past few years we have heard a fair amount of political discussion surrounding power generation and fuel types. However, in 2019 renewable energy and sources surpassed coal energy for the first time since before 1885, which from 1776 to 1885 was primarily water, animal and wind power.

Reliability Engineering: Back to Basics

Reliability is a subordinate topic to industrial and manufacturing engineering that has been branching out into it’s own more and more the past few decades including an increase in the number of reliability engineer titles that are handed out within organizations..
